Photographers Coach: Thrive in Photography and Life

Client Love: An Interview with documentary photographer Sandra Stokmans

What is your life like now at the end of the program?

Who knew 2020 would turn out the way it did. So maybe it didn’t turn out quite the way I expected, especially on the family photography side of things, but there is nothing I can do about that. It’s the way things are right now in the world.

I want documentary family photography, the Day in the Life approach to be more known to the general public here in the Netherlands. I hope hospitals and other caregivers will take to healthcare sessions, because I have found that this is what really makes my heart burst. It is just so beautiful to do.

The biggest benefit for me so far, is the personal feedback on everything. And a major benefit is that my work process / my business has been streamlined. I still have some -catch up- work to do, because there is still so much I can share what I have done J – but I’m getting there!

My biggest compliment was that a potential branding client, a communication manager, told me during our introductory meeting “You really feel like a brand!” And that the branding clients that have booked me really resonated with my (documentary family) photographs and my motto “Real is more fun than Perfect. Real is Perfect!”, and that is why they booked me.
Last month I was able to provide our household with €2.000, for the first time since I started working as a fulltime photographer (2016). But it is still far from my goal – but I’m trying to be hopeful and have the confidence I will get there with a sane heart and mind so I can finally get a grip on workable time and relaxation!

Interview met een klant: ontmoet Marielle Spijkers-van Hamont

Voor wie is het programma Studio Sessions het meest geschikt in jouw ogen?
Voor wie niet! Ow ja voor diegene die blij zijn met een minimum inkomen en een werkweek van 60+ uren hahahaha.
Nee even serieus. Ik raad het iedereen aan die zijn fotografiebedrijf (maar ik denk zelfs ook andere bedrijven) naar een hoger leven wil tillen. Je leert zo onwijs veel en het is zo waardevol. Of je nou startende bent of al een oude rot in het vak. Een carrière switch wilt maken of gewoon wilt bijleren het is echt een top programma. Wat ik nieuwe cursisten wel aanraad is dat als ze voor Studio Sessions kiezen er ook wel echt de tijd en energie in moeten steken en er voor de volle 110% voor moeten gaan. Yvonne is zo toegewijd aan haar cursisten en geeft zich ook voor de volle 110% dus dan is het wel fijn als ze dat ook terug kan verwachten.
